GM to sell
gasless car
by 1985,
article says
CHICAGO (AP) - General Motors
has developed a smaller, lighter, more
powerful battery that will enable it to
market electric-powered cars by 1985,
the Chicago Tribune said in a copyright
Sunday story.
Cliff Merriott, director of news
relations for GM in Detroit,"said
yesterday, "General Motors has no
comment on the Chicago Tribune
report. Mr. Elliott Estes, GM president,
will be in Washington on Tuesday to
make some announcement." He
declined to elaborate.
The newspaper said it had been told
that Estes' announcement will be of a
major breakthrough in battery
technology.
THE TRIBUNE said that by 1985, if
not sooner, GM will use new zinc nickel
oxide batteries, with a life span of
20,000-30,000 miles, and .an electric
motor to power some of its cars.
The new type battery is said to have
about twice the power of the lead-acid
battery it will replace and will need
recharging every 100 or so miles. This
compares with 50 miles for GM's ex-
perimental Electrovette using lead-
acid batteries.
The Tribune said replacement costs
for the new batteries would be
anywhere from $800 to $1,200.

Carter restates
WASHINGTON (UPI)-President Carter said anew the
United States will take "appropriate action" if negotiations
over Soviet troops in Cuba fail, but his security adviser
discouraged specualtion about possible military interven-
tion.
Both the president and national security affairs adviser
Zbigniew Brzezinski made the comments to a group of
editors Friday. Texts of the interviews were released yester-
day.
Brzezinski said there was no sense in "shooting oneself in
the foot" by taking steps such as a grain embargo against
Moscow.
AND, HE SAID, it would be "a cop-out" to reject the new
strategic arms limitation treaty (SALT II).
Carter described the situation this way: "We are meeting'
with the Soviet Union, assessing our intelligence data, under-
standing clearly what is the status quo, and I'll have to make
a judgment on what to do about it within the near future.
"If this effort should be unsuccessful, then I would have to
take appropriate action, and to go into further detail than
that would be inappropriate."
stance on Cuba
IN A SEPARATE session, the editors asked Brzezinski if
military action had been ruled out.
Brzezinski said the situation-an estimated 2,000 to 3,000
Soviet combat troops stationed in Cuba-is not as dangerous
as the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, which "posed a direct overt
strategic threat to the United States" in the context of a
wider crisis between the two powers over Berlin.
"This is not a situation like 1962," he said. "The crisis is
neither immediatenor as threatening by a long shot."
ASKED WHETHER U.S. wheat exports to Russia mightt
be curtailed, Brzezinski replied, "We do not think that the
prfofitable response to the Soviet Union 'is one which involves
shooting oneself in the foot in the same process."
He added, "It is a cop-out from the world of competitiort to
reject SALT II as a substitute for effectively competing"
with the Soviet Union. "In rejecting SALT, we punish our-
selves as much, if not more than we punish the Soviet
Union.'
On the troops issue, he said, "We are not seeking a
solution which involves the humiliation of one side, and the
proclamation of a victory by the other side."

classes were going' to be held.
Organized walkouts took place at the
beginning of large lectures, while
strikers outside the building harangued
students to support the strike, and
professors inside urged students to at-
tend class.
Eventually, students adjusted their
class schedules. Some met for informal
classes at the homes of their teaching
assistants. Some discussion sessions
were led by professors. Many students,
however, boycotted classes altogether.
Three weeks into the strike, both sides
submitted bargaining positions to a
MERC-appointed fact-finder. One week
later, a settlement was reached.
THE UNION won a 5.6 per cent wage
increase, and $400 per term tuition fees.
GEO also succeeded in securing
assurances from the University that

reprisals would not be taken againist
strikers. One key issue resolved in the
union's favor was its demand -for an
agency shop. The agency shop
provision provided that all GSAs either
join the GEO or pay a service fee to the -
union.
GEO continued to push toward a
more effective labor organization by
affiliating itself with the American
Federation of Teachers (AFT). The
AFT now provides legal service to
GEO, and advice on organization and
bargaining.
The 1975-1976 contract was to expire
August 31, 1976. Negotiations between
the University and the union criept
along, and when it appeared the tglks
were headed toward a stalemate, the
deadline was extended.
BUT DESPITE two more extensionsw.
approved by- GEO members, talks
came to a standstill in early November.
The University would not sign the ion-
tract until GEO withdrew two grievan-
ces they had against the administration
under the previous contract. GEO
refused and filed an unfair labor ptac-
tice (ULP) with MERC.
In August 1977, MERC Ad-
ministrative Law Judge Shlomo Sperka
ruled that the University had inot
bargained in good faith with the union,
and ordered it to sign the 1976-1977 coin-
tract. Sperka also ruled GSAs wero in-
deed employees, entitled to bargain
The University decided to appeal
Sperka's ruling to the full MERC board.
Last March, the University and GEO
concluded testimony in the case.
